Mrs. Alice Longbottom

Auror. Order member. Wife to Frank. Friend, ally, confidant, and baker extraordinaire. "I hear a voice that's in my head, don't let me down."

Maybe we should just create a bunk room in there.

[alicetheraven]

One is very much needed, I do believe. Though they may not be happy to see me doing my work from bed.

[sirius--b]

Is the rent cheap?

[alicetheraven]

Nonexistent. But you don't have the time to sleep.

[alicetheraven]

I'm starting to feel like I live in the Ministry.

[oneandonlyprongs-blog]

It’s unfortunately something that has to take precedence.

[alicetheraven]

Yes, but it's worth it. Ironically, it has also brought a large portion of past classmates back together, too.

[oneandonlyprongs-blog]

We’re not bad. I’ve just gone back to focusing on the other thing, but it’s good.

[alicetheraven]

You are missed in the Ministry, but the other thing does keep all of us occupied, as well.

[oneandonlyprongs-blog]

I would. How are you and Frank doing, anyway?

[alicetheraven]

We are doing well, thank you. Busy as always, especially with an increased interest in the Auror Office. But well overall. What about you and Lily?

[oneandonlyprongs-blog]

I definitely need one.

[alicetheraven]

I think they sell some in a little shop near my house. I can get some for you, if you would like.

[oneandonlyprongs-blog]

Rain really messes up my hair.

[alicetheraven]

I do believe they sell potions to help with that.

[sirius--b]

England is working against any efforts for cheering up, I can see. I suppose we might as well. Want to get some tea?

[alicetheraven]

I would enjoy that very much. Your absence from the Ministry means I don't get to see you frequently enough.

[sirius--b]

For now. I’m not looking forward to the rain, it’s already gloomy enough around here.

[alicetheraven]

Welcome to England. We will be stuck with the gloom soon enough, so we might as well take advantage of the sunshine while it lasts.

[sirius--b]

First day of spring, finally.

[alicetheraven]

It is even nicer outside than I expected.

[simplytedtonks-deactivated20140]

"Diagon Alley’s been busy for this time of year."

[alicetheraven]

"Maybe people are trying to distract themselves from the chaos by shopping?"

[marlsthemckinnon]

"Better than I was before, that’s for sure. I’ve been practicing."

[alicetheraven]

"Good. You know I am always happy to help if needed, but I have no doubt you can get it on your own."

[marlsthemckinnon]

"No more harder than they are everyone else. It’s okay though, I have my friends to help me get through. But I’m happy to hear about you and Frank. I know you guys had a bit of a scare there for awhile."

[alicetheraven]

"Thank you, I appreciate it. But enough on all of that. How is the new spell practice going?"

[marlsthemckinnon]

"Work has been fine, mostly just paperwork. How have you been?"

[alicetheraven]

"The fun of being an Auror-in-training. Hopefully they're not being too hard on you. I have been well, thank you. They have not sent Frank or me on any missions since what happened, and it's a great sense of temporary comfort."

[marlsthemckinnon]

She laughed, “no not quite.”

[alicetheraven]

"I like to think it's getting close. Is work going well?"

[alicetheraven]

I did not realize that 'don't start yet' had two meanings.
